How It Works

A straightforward approval flow that fits into how your team already works.

1

Request approval on a file, folder, or share

Select the content that needs sign-off and choose one or more reviewers. Add a note explaining what needs to be reviewed and why. The request is created instantly.

2

Reviewers get notified and can comment inline

Reviewers receive a notification with a direct link to the content. They can preview files in the browser and leave comments on specific items before making their decision.

3

Approve or reject with a single click

Reviewers approve or reject with one click and can add a comment explaining their decision. The requester is notified immediately so work keeps moving.

4

Full audit trail of every decision

Every approval, rejection, and comment is permanently recorded. See who approved what, when they approved it, and what they said. Nothing is lost or overwritten.

Approvals Meet AI

Ripley, the Fast.io AI assistant, summarizes what changed since the last version so reviewers know exactly what to focus on. Instead of comparing files side by side, reviewers get a plain-language summary of the differences.

Highlights what was added, removed, or modified
Reviewers spend less time hunting for differences

Approvals Meet Sharing

Require approval before content goes live on a content portal. When someone updates a shared folder, the change waits for sign-off before external viewers see it.

Prevent accidental sharing of draft content
Keep internal review separate from external access
